Pretty good shaker here

pjthompsonAbout 8:39 p.m. PST. 5.0 centered in Lennox which is 8-10 miles due east of here so it was a good shaker. The framed posters were thumping lightly against the wall, but for he most part everything was fine. Nothing fell, no power outage.
I thought it felt like it rolled in from the east (which it did) and it went on about fifteen seconds, a long time when the earth is shaking. I also thought it felt like about a 5. Once you've been through a few, you get a sense for them. It was felt quite widely across the basin and beyond.
The scary thing for me is not so much a shaker of this magnitude. It's wondering whether it's a foreshock for something bigger. Only time will tell.
But we're all okay. Min, otoh, got pretty terrified.
